L. V., I Found This Poem Dancing With Your Shadow

November feels like something bad is about to happen

but nothing ever does

and we're left with the oddest kind of disappointment

Feedback for your writing project (sorry this took so long)

I'm not good at writing or giving reviews that's why I'm sending this anonymously but your words are always beautiful and heartwrenching. I think it's generous of you to take the time to listen to other people's stories and write them a poem. This includes people like me who don't write but have a lot on my mind and sometimes I want a poem that I can relate to haha

Thank you and just keep writing. And no criticism from me on the technical level because like I said I'm not a writer. I hope this feedback is okay!

No, this is perfect! Thank you so much. I love listening to people's stories and writing them something based on those experiences. I just get worried sometimes that I might not have been able to capture what they wanted, or do their story justice, as some stories people have sent me, I haven't gone through personally, so I'm glad to hear this. Again, thank you <3

you look at my writing
& ask why i write about drinking tea
& sitting, looking out the window,
	people-watching.

you say it would bore the reader.

but sometimes there is magic
in writing the mundane.
		the everyday,
		the things
	that are easy to ignore.

sometimes it’s enough to write about your eyes
	when you’re looking at me
	& i pretend not to notice
	& you know i'm pretending
		not to notice.

- L. V.

L. V., sometimes we don’t need to listen to the reader or the critics or the voices in our head

[i found this poem in my drafts, where it should have remained (pt. 8)]

Person 1: "If only love bloomed on trees"

Person 2: "But we still have apples, don't we?"

Person 1: "Yes, but the seeds are poisonous."

Person 2: But isn't love poisonous too?

your page is like going to a museum; each post like a painting. Specifically the ones you weave your poems with classical paintings. i can go over the details for a long while. it feels like taking a magnifying glass to a miniature work of art to fully appreciate the little touches; and when i step back, i see the whole painting -- the bigger picture. thank you for the experience.

This is far too lovely. Thank you, dear stranger. You made my heart feel a little less heavy today.
